Western Digital Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q4 2025
Western Digital (new standalone HDD company) reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $2.3B, non-GAAP gross margin of 40.1% and non-GAAP EPS of $1.36; free cash flow was $436M. Key operational highlights: rapid ramp of the 11-disk platforms (800k units shipped in March quarter; >1M expected in June), Ultra SMR adoption (~40%–45% mix cited), and continuing HAMR development with engineering samples and two hyperscaler customers. Management secured longer-term agreements (LTAs) with two large hyperscalers through mid‑2026, giving improved visibility for cloud demand. They redeemed $1.8B of 2026 notes post-quarter, lowered net leverage to ~1.7x (target 1.0–1.5x), and initiated a $0.10 quarterly dividend. Fiscal Q4 guidance: revenue $2.45B ± $150M, gross margin 40%–41%, operating expenses $330M–$340M, EPS $1.45 ± $0.20 (approx. 360M shares), and a tax rate of 8%–10%. Management flagged macro/tariff uncertainty that could affect enterprise, distribution and consumer demand, but said hyperscaler/cloud demand remains robust and LTAs reduce near‑term execution risk. Roadmap/timeline: HAMR qualification expected H2 CY2026 with high-volume ramp in H1 CY2027. Capital allocation priorities are reinvest in the business, reduce debt, and return excess cash to shareholders (dividends and buybacks once leverage target is reached).
